THEODORE HOOK'S NEW NOVEL, " GURNEY MARRIED," A Sequel to " Gilbert Gurney." 3 vols. post Bvo. Henry Colburn, publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street. Tke publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock. " - e WITH WHICH THE " TRUE SUN " IS NOW INCORPORATED. LONDON : WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 31, 1833. Among the many interesting publications which have recently appeared on the important subject of the danger to British interests from the aggressive policy pursued by Russia, we have met with none deserving of more serious attention than a pamphlet entitled " Progress and Present Position of Russia in the East," from which a copious extract will be found in another part of The Sun. The first edition appeared two years ago ; but as the danger to England was not then judged so imminent as even to disturb the repose of his late and her present MAJESTY'S Ministers, it attracted but little notice ; and would probably have been forgotten, had not recent occurrences in the East proved that the Author's predictions were as well founded as his facts were unquestionable. It is lament able to observe the extent of real danger which is ne cessary to rouse the public mind of England to any thing like a just vigilance with respect to the foreign policy of the Government. Though more interested in questions of Oriental policy than any other nation in Europe, and possessing greater facilities for the ac quirement of all necessary knowledge, England is behind most of them in any regard to what passes beyond the range of her military stations in the Mediterranean. - While JOHN BULL refuses to trust -Ministers with the sole management of a Turnpike Act, and believes himself swindled unless he is officially informed where fore he is called upon to pay a penny additional tax upon gin, he never thinks that he neglects his duty in leaving the Executive to dispose, as it pleases, of the trade and revenues of territories an hundred times as extensive as that which he emphatically calls his own —the British Isles. For the last four days nothing has been talked of in the City but the invasion of Persia by the CZAR, and the dangers which threaten our Indian Empire. Has this danger wholly originated in any recent act on the part of Russia, to ac count for the numbers that now seem to speak of it for the first time ? Far from it. The danger now is scarcely more perceptible than it was to discerning politicians half a century ago. Then, no less than now, it was foreseen that the steady aggres sive system, silently and unremittingly pursued by Russia, from the accession of PETER the First, had for its ultimate object the prostration of Poland, the subjugation of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, the humiliation of Germany, the division of Turkey, and the conquest of the whole of the ancient Empire of Persia. Russia obeys no sudden impulse in seeking to establish the sovereignty of her influence in Khorassan—her schemes to that effect are among the legacies bequeathed to her present Cabinet, and there fore to express astonishment at the intrigues by which she now seeks to embroil us with the Princes of Persia, with a view to succeed us in the Empire of the East, is to betray a total ignorance of the whole history and principles of her Government. The only wonder is, that a nation like England, so powerful, and so deeply interested in the aggressive movements of such a Barbarian Power as Russia, should suffer herself to be duped by professions of friendship, which she must know were never made but to deceive. Did the shadow of civilization follow the arms of Russia the moralist might find some excuse for indulging her thirst for conquest; but serfage, and the brutal manners of her own illiterate boors, are all that she has bestowed, or can bestow, upon the unhappy races compelled to acknowledge her sovereignty. The Author of the pamphlet, which has furnished the text for these obser vations, has supplied an excellent map, in which the territorial acquisitions of Russia since the accession of PETER 1., are very distinctly laid down. Their ex tent in all directions is truly startling. In little more than a century she has appropriated more than half of Sweden ; from Poland an extent nearly equal to the Austrian empire ; from Turkey, in Europe and Asia, territory equal to Prussia, and the whole of the lesser German States ; from Persia, an extent of country as large as England ; besides a seizure of Tartarian Khan ships and principalities equal in size to the whole of Tur key in Europe, Greece, Italy, and Spain I So much for the aggressive policy of a Power whose professions are always pacific, and who always stipulates for an eter nity of friendship between herself and her allies. The conquests of Russia are less the consequences of her physical force, than the results of her intrigue and treachery. A war with so compact a Power as England would soon convince the world that she is not invincible in the field ; and the sooner such a war is resolved upon, the less blood and treasure it will cost to give independence to Turkey, nationality to Poland, and stability and peace to our India❑ em pire. No one will lightly suspect us of any love for the Tories, and yet we protest that we would prefer supporting a Tory Ministry to-morrow that would, by a war with Russia, give freedom to Poland and seen xity to the East, than continue the support of a Whig or even a Radical Cabinet, content to purchase the peace which we now enjoy on the dishonourable terms at which it has been maintained for the last eight years. We again call attention to a correspondence con cernino those unjust exactions on passengers coming into London from the Continent by steam-vessels, which are levied under the presumed authority of the Custom-house. We are glad to learn, from Mr. K E R's letter to Mr. FLOWER, that the Board of Customs does not authorize the tax of 6d. on every little parcel or package brought by a passenger in one of the Boulogne steam-boats. We are glad to learn also that the Treasury appears to discountenance the proceeding ; and henceforth it will be the fault of the public, if they submit to be taxed by Messrs. JACK SON and KNILL. To Mr. HENRY FLOWER, who properly and judiciously took up the question, and produced the letters we now publish from the Trea sury and the Board of Customs, the public is much indebted, and will he ungrateful to that gentleman, as well as negligent of its own interests, if it do not resist the payment of the sixpence. Unfortunately we can affirm, from our own experi ence, that up to a late period it was levied, and every trifling package and parcel was taken away from the passengers coming over from Boulogne, and placed in the vessel's hold, in order to levy the sixpence on each. In consequence of the letter from the Board of Customs, we must assert that this is done without their autho rity, and that those who have small bundles will be justified in refusing to give them up. We know that such is the regulation on hoard steam-boats coming fro m Hamburg, where the Custom-house officers wil exami ne on board such small parcels as ladies carry in their hatAls, and even their night bags, which they al low to go on shore, without sending them to the bag gage wareho. The practice on board the Boulogne steam-boats, i,aoctioned by the presence a t, least of the Custom-House officers, of taking small bundles is, therefore, unwarranted and ought to be opposed. The pretext for it is to pay the expense of landing the luggage, but it costs nothing to land the luggage of passengers coming by steam-boats from Hamburg. It is conveyed to the Custom-house, and from there put into the traveller's possession without any charge. But even that pretext does not apply to any kind of luggage which passengers carry in their own hands, nnd to charge 6d. for every such package must be stigmatised as an impudent extortion. We must also observe that the Custom-house does not always use due diligence in clearing the luggage of passengers. Only last week, persons (whom we know) coming from Boulogne, were detained no less than five hours after the arrival of the vessel before they could get their luggage, and they were not the last on the list. The Board of Customs is bound to provide more officers and more accommodation for clearing luggage ; but, like other Boards, it seems to have no notion of adapting its measures to the public wants. The number of passengers by steam-vessels from the Continent has of late prodi giously increased—it is always numerous about this period of the year—and to meet that increase the Cus tom-house should appoint, if necessary, more officers, and provide more apartments. Suppose that 2,000 passengers arrive weekly from the Continent, and that each is detained on an average two hours only, while some are detained six, that will amount to 4,000 hours per week of precious time which the Board of Cus toms lavishes and wastes, because it will not employ an additional searcher or two. The present tardy sys tem is unbearable. The Legislature taxes French silks and laces, and the Board of Customs, unautho rized by law, taxes our time. The money levied for the purposes of the State is a trifling evil compared to the drafts which the lazy or negligent . officials make on our patience. It is even a disgrace to the public that the passengers arriving in this commercial country should be detained at all, or should be subject to have their coffers examined. Those who have witnessed the examination know that it is little better than a mere form, and yet ladies' clothes and gentlemen's books, when nicely packed, are pulled and hauled about in an unseemly and offen sive manner. On some parts of the Continent they put it to the honour of passengers that they have no goods liable to duty, and on receiving such a declara tion the passengers' trunks are admitted unopened. Why could not such a regulation, greatly to the public advantage, be adopted here ? The revenue would scarcely suffer, for a very small sum is levied on the articles which persons are inclined to smuggle. Most of the smuggling is to evade protecting duties, such as the duties on silks, laces, and gloves, not to evade duties ordained for the sake of the revenue. They are a part of the Corn-law system of plundering one class to enrich another. The least of the many evils inflicted on the community by such duties is the tax, which is all that the purblind legislator sees when he ordains it. The revenue, then, would not suffer by allowing passengers to bring in their luggage unexamined, and if that led to such an evasion of the protecting duties cs rendered them of no avail, we should praise the smuggling as a national benefit. But whatever regulation may be adopted, it is quite clear that the present vexatious system, which is a tax on time and patience never contemplated by the Legis lature, must be amended. Barbadoes Journals to the 23d of September inclu sive, have been received this morning. The accounts which they bring are very satisfactory. The following article from the Barbadoes Liberal of the 22d, will be found to include an excellent summary of the news of the Island, as far as regards the working of the Negro Emancipation Act : As the packet will sail to-morrow, we cannot, perhaps, oc cupy a few spare minutes to better advantage, than in giving our friends in England some account of the present state of affairs in this colony. The factious endeavours of the pro slavery remnant are kept greatly in check by the untiring watchfulness of the friends of liberty, and our prospects are now much more cheering than they were a few weeks ago. We have much fewer complaints of improper treatment made to us by the labourers against their employers, and the few that are, are either individual cases, or confined to proper ties of absentees, whose attorneys and managers, perhaps, have an eye to leases on easy terms, if the properties are unproductive. Wherever the labourer is not subject to decidedly bad treatment, and his fair wages offered him, there, with few exceptions, be is labouring contentedly ; and where his treatment is positively good—where the em ployer (or others in authority) shew a generous, kind, and concililatory disposition towards him, he is cheerfully indus trious, and willing to do anything to oblige—the estate is in flourishing condition, and employer and labourer mutua lly benefited by this proper understanding of their conjoint in terests. A few estates are remarkably backward in their cultivation—almost in a state of ruin. They are, for the most part, as b'fore said, the estates of absentee pro prietors, and their condition may, without exception, be re ferred to the bad conduct of those who have the manage ment of them. These worthless men take every improper advantage of the labourer ; give him excessive tasks, in which he is allowed to have no judgment ; withhold from him his wages for what he is able to do ; and besides, exer cise a power of fining him at their pleasure, by turning him back from his work, and complaining to the Magistrate and having him punished for breach of contract, should be go else where to work. The vigilance exercised by the Governor is a great check upon the Magistrates ; who are now expected to make half monthly returns to his Excellency, of cases decided by them. His Excellency cannot, however, have eyes everywhere; the returns may be, and, in some cases, we have good reason for saying, are falsified by omissions ; and, in general, all that his Excellency can do, is to determine on the reported class of offence and the degree of punishment awarded. The evidence in any particular case cannot, of course, appear on the face of the return. It cannot, therefore, be known whether the case was made out or not, unless where his Excel lency should see cause to d; - mand copies of evidence taken on trial. This is a great obstacle in the way of the Executive, and, as matters now are, it is utterly unavoidable. It enables Magistrates, with comparatively little risk of detection, to class a thousand frivolous complaints, and award punishments without the least warranty of law, under the general head of '• Breaches of Conti act" or the like. The Governor, in a mess:ige to the Assembly, has lately brought the subject of the Assistant Court of Appeal before . th,.. Legislature ; complaining of the defectiveness law of the a constituting it, and of its consequent impracticability. An Amendmentby the Hon.s Act() Solicitor-General, c a t o s since e nbeereai andnt introduced d r u e c a e d d t ,ivn; Should the c to the_ t.h House House, the sa me d ay, a d journ i ng f or f our weeks ()Teat check amendment pass , an d t h e C ourt bepl , a i e, d a oian efficient foot. ing, as d es i re d by his Excellency, it ,ll ffoird " a b on magi s t er i a l delinquencies, and dimin i sh the difficulties in the way of the Executive. It will diminish but not remove those difficulties. They spring from a defective Constitution—a Constitution framed for the state of slavery ; well adapted perhaps to that state, and therefore the more unsuitable to the present state of free dom. To remove those difficulties in the administration of justice, and to remedy the evils which afflict the colony, remodel the Constitution to suit our present state ; justly apportion the power which is now, as in slavery, exclusively enjoyed by one class, among the several classes ; alter the Election Laws, and extend the suffrage to a fair and reasonabl e proportion of the poor and middle classes_wealth will always have its proper influence on human opinion. Do this ; or if this be con sidered impolitic in the present revolutionised state of our society, suspend the Constitutions of the Colonies, as in the case of Canada, whose circumstances cannot more have required it than ours, and give us a temporary Government, by Com mission, :in which the undoubtedly qualified of all classes may take part. Let our friends in England consider this matter well; and if they cannot procure for us a good Constitution, suited to the present circumstances of colonial society, let them, at least, endeavour to rid us of the many evils una voidably consequent on the working of a bad one, not at all suited to those circumstances. No doubt now rernaini; that the Northern Yacht steamer, with all on board, has been lost off' the coast of Scotland. After the dreadful loss of life, within the last twelve months, caused by steam-boat accidents, every one as why the Government does not take immediate steps to counteract the evil. Many of these accidents have occurred in consequence of the gross 11Cgoliaence or rgekless conduct, o f t h e proprietors and and their obstinacy human lif e their events; rtheba k e o f profit, is such, that, in all probability, the practice will continue till put down by the verdicts of Juries, or some act of the Executive. The forma, however, is a slow process. The latter is speedy and the public voice would sanction any rational measure they might adopt till the meeting of Par liament. We have three months to come of the most dangerous weather in the year before any Legislative Act can be passed, and, judging from what has already occurred ; we can anticipate only a continuation of the evil. The safety of the people ought to be the first object of all Governments ; and ours will incur no slight responsibility, if it should allow this reckless system to continue, merely because it might have to apply for an Act of Indemnity. The Paris Journals of Monday have all been re ceived. The following extracts from them include all the news they contain of any interest : A letter from St. Jean Pied de Port says—" General Imre gny (El Pastor), has been here for some days—we do not know the purpose of bii coming here. Munagorri has like wise been here; he left this morning. Yesterday he went to Baggori to see a recruiting officer whom he has there, and probably his new recruits." The Toulonnais has the following letter from Algiers : " Piastres are beginning to be scarce here. The merch an t s complain of this circumstance, that coin being indispensable in commercial transactions with the natives. They cannot conceive the motives which have induced the Custom-house at Toulon to impede, by difficulties and, high demands, the con signment of coin on which it ought to be content with the pro per import duty." The letters of the 26th from Madrid state the manner in which the army of resource will be distributed. 4,000 men, commanded by the Marquis de las Amurellas, will occupy Toledo ; 4,000 men, commanded by Alison, will protect Avila; and 3,500 will remain at La Mancha, unde Nogueras. As for Narvaez, it is proposed to send him to Andalusia, where it is hoped he will obtain some sacrifices in favour of the army firmed by him, and which will thus be retained sufficiently near to the capital. The Courrier du Bas Rhin says—" Lord Ponsonby com ing from Malta, and on his way to London, arrived at Stras burg on the 25th of October, at the Hotel La Ville de Paris. —Le Commerce. It now appears that the wife of Don CARLOS ob tained a passport for herself and the son of her hus band, from M. DE ST. AULAIRE, the French Am bassador at Vienna, who, according to the Temps, " could not do otherwise than act politely to her Royal Highness, whom he had met at Rome." But would any French Minister, allowing him even to be a per fect model of politeness and gallantry, have taken upon himself such responsibility without consulting his master ? Louts PHILIPPE may recall or punish his Minister, as ELIZABETH punished the unfortunate DAVIDSON for dispatching her warrant f or t h e execu tion of MARY, and mankind will give them alike credit for sincerity. The following extracts from the German Journals, received this morning, will be read with some inte- rest : ab ff ly e C fa t aumt thathile:yn authentic HANOVER, OCT. 23. —The Hanov er G azette conta i ns an a s d o C m c uaambj i ee n s n e t ty t s Minn a i s db t ee e s r eene pt o le a fromSs e c d h e I e n article having e ancient to p ß r o a t v h r e n e d n s a to n allow him and his legitimate descendants to bear the title of Baron von Schele. HANOVER, OCT. 22.—We hear from good authority that the Assembly of the States will not be again convoked before .. the new year. There is no ro om even to form a proba bl e "conjecture whether the prorogued Assembly will be convoked or dissolved, and a new election take place. From Prussia, in October, letters received at Berlin on the 21st Oct., state that English diplomacy has prevailed in Teheran, as well as in Constantinople. The Shah, hard pressed by the rebels, and threatened by the English, has yielded to the advice of his Ministers, and has sought and obtained the protection of the latter on rather humiliating conditions. This news is especially impor tant in regard to Russia, as the party which caused the rebel lion. It cannot be denied that England manages its affairs admirably, and that the year 1838 will, by a series of advan tageous treaties, fill a brilliant page in the history of Great Britain. By them it has succeeded in part directly, in part in directly, so to draw a net round a great Power whose influence began to be troublesome to it, that it is again confined, with regard to the East, to its inland trade. By the late treaties concluded by England the Russian establishments on the Cas pian Sea,which owe their existence chiefly to an intimate connec tion with Persia, are as much in danger as those in the Euxine, as that great sea has only one entrance, by the Dardanelles. Who does not recollect on this occasion the significant and very in telligible expression that once fell from the Emperor Alexan der, " The Dardanelles are the keys of my house." Hence it is incompatible with the close friendship that has hitherto subsisted between the Porte and Russia, that the opening or closing of those straits should depend on the Divan exclu sively. Or is perhaps the moment already come, when Russia must repent its generosity in restoring Silistria to the Porte before the expiration of the term, which the Treaty of Adria nople allowed it to prolong ad libitum? BERLIN, OCT. 22.—The King will remove in a few days from Charlottenburg, to his palace at Berlin ; and the Princes will, on Thursday, leave their country seats in and near Potsdam. The families of Princes Reprin and D'Olgorucky, are now here ; the former is very numerous. PETERSBURG, OCT. 17.—His Majesty has addressed a gra cious letter to Lieut.- General Rajewsky, as Commander of one of the divisions of troops acting against the hostile moun taineers on the east coast of the Black Sea, in which his Ma. jesty says that his hopes and expectations have been completely answered. The occupation of the mouths of the rivers Taspe and Schapsache, with scarcely any loss on our part, is a proof of his eminent talents. The General has also given proofs of indefatigable acti v ity an d honourable firmness in pro tectin g the ships that we re wrec k e d near t h e mou th of the Taspe, and in saving the crews. His care of the health of the troops is likewise highly commendable, there having been very few sick among them, notwithstanding the fatigues they had endured. His Majesty therefore sends him with the letter the insignia of the Imperial Order of the White Eagle. We hear from Con stantinople, that the Sultan has it really in contemplation to found military colonies on the same principles as those in Russia.—. Hamburg Papers, Oct. 26. FRONTIERS OF ITALY, OCT. 12.—The Russian Captain, Kowalewsky, who was summoned from Montenegro to Venice, to justify himself before Count Tatischeff, against the com plaints made by Austria of his conduct in Montenegro, seems to have succeeded in completely clearing himself. He is said to have affirmed and proved, that so far from exciting the people of Montenegro, he had, on the contrary, soothed their inflamed passions, and that it is chiefly owing to him that the hostilities were not more sanguinary and obstinate. M. Von TatischefFseems to have given him entire credit, for otherwise what we now learn, would seem inexplicable, that Kowalewsky has already set out to return to Montenegro, with very friendly proposals from Russia to the Vladika. The negotiations with the Montenegrims for the settlement of the differences respecting the frontiers stand still, the Austrian Commis sioner having left Dobrota, after long waiting in vain for the return of the Vladika, who, in his youthful levity, seems scarcely to he sincere in his wishes for peace. Anti de Geaunne, the Vladika's French master, is said to be. sent to Servia and Russia, on a highly important mistion from the Vladika.

The Hamburg mail has arrived, of the date of the 26th Oc tober, bringing the price of Metalliques, 106 ; B an k Shares, 1,438. A mail has arrived from Jamaica by the Spey, and sailed 25th September, from St. Thomas's 3d October. By the above conveyance we have received Jamaica Papers to the 26th September. (From the above Papers). The packet has arrived and brought us British and Colonial Journals, the former to the 15th August. On Saturday, the Bth inst., his Excellency the Governor visited St. Thomas-in-the- Vale, and was received by the Hon. G. W. Hamilton. There were also present a large concourse of labourers from the various properties. His Ex ce ll ency took a seat on the sofa, in the drawing-room, and addressed himself to the gentlemen present ; and remarked that he had come to see if he could do any good, and that he was anxious to learn in what consisted the differences bf‘tween them and their late apprentices, and why it was that work had not been resumed. The Custos stated that the great bone of contention was wages. The labourers had demanded a much higher rate than the proprietors could afrord to pay. His Excellency asked what were the terms offered ? The Custos—The father of a family was charged one shit ling and eight pence per week for the house in which they all lived, but each individual was required t r:,•., the like sum for his ground, provided he was able to labour, ihoeebelonging to similar gang , were required to pay ten penc,, or in propor tion to their ►ate of wages. His Excellency—lf the people are to pay these rates, what are they to live upon ? The Custos—The husband was offered 3s. per week, the wife 6s. 3d., and the other branches of the family 6s. Bd., and less according to the class of labourers to which they belonged. His Excellency—This appears a fair rate of hire, and I am sorry that any difference should exist. He then called Mr. Jackson, the Stipendiary Magistrate, and asked him if he knew anything respecting the cause of dissatisfaction among the lalnurers, and why they refused the terms that htd been offered ? Mr. Jackson replied he had conversed with a great many of them, they had expressed no objection to paying rent for their houses and grounds, but wished to dispose of their labour the way they thought fit. His Excellency said he thought the Proprietors would consult their own interest, and allay the irritation which existed, if they would do as had been done at Clarendon, and Vere. In these parishes the rent for house and ground had been given up for the first three months, and the hire fixed at one-eighth per day. Mr. Page felt assured every one present would adopt his Excellency's 'suggestion, provided the labourers would imme diately resume work. His Excellency inquired if that was the general feeling, and received replies in the affirmative. He next inquired if he should communicate that information to the people, which being also assented to, his Excellency addressed the people stating that he had been talking to their employers, or rather with their old masters, and they seemed kindly disposed to them, but that he was sorry to find that none of them had been at work. He also stated that the Queen and the country had made them free; but it was not that they should become idle. That their friends in Jamaica and Great Britain expect them to be industrious. His Excellency asked them the reason why they did not work? They replied that they had been waiting for Massa the Governor. They then promised the Governor that they would go to work on Monday morning ; but one man inquired what was to be the day's work—how many hours ? To which the Governor reprred, at least nine hours. The people made no reply, but appeared satisfied. Notwithstanding this arrangement, and the promise made, our informant assures us that, with the exception of two or three on each estate, and those not working continually, the people almost through the parish had not, up to Wednesday last, turned out to work. Upon estates where there are 200, about 15 or 20 will turn out at six o'clock, and work till one or two. On one property with 86 labourers on it only four were at work. (From the Paper of the 26th September.) We are glad to perceive, by private letters, that the la bourers in the parishes of Manchester and St. Dorothy are in general resuming their accustomed work, at a remuneration which seems fair. Canton Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 27th June. • COMMEkCIAL REMARKS.

The occurrence of most importance which bas taken place since our last, is the publication in the Gazette of two Orders in Council, both of the date of 30th day of July last. By the first, the ordinance of the 12th July, 1836, for the better re gulation of the relative duties of masters and articled servants in British Guiana, &c. with the three Orders in Council there unto, are repealed. All contracts actually existing remain in full force. The reports from the various districts as to the conduct of our labouring population are as various and opposite to each other as it is possible for them to be. There are many of the estates of which the labourers had at first gone on steadily to work, which now have scarcely a hand on them, whilst upon others they muster a greater force than they could before command. We hear also that the people have already, in many instances, exhibited the propensity common to the habits of savage life, which we call squatting, and to which we have always looked to as one of the evils. GRENADA,—It is gratifying to - its to be able to record that the accounts received from several parts of the country are of a satisfactory nature. ST.

QUARTERLY REVIEIf —No. 12,1 Murray, London, 1938. There is no political article in this Number of the " Quarterly" which, taken in connexion with the present significant silence—lethargy rather—of the Tories, leads us to infer that that party, usually so noisy and active, is in the lowest state of prostration. When the organ of in tolerance cannot find a word to say in favour cf its cause, be sure that cause is fast verging to its fall. We do not, however, regret this unaccustomed silence of the Quar terly Review ; on the contrary, we rejoice at it ; because it enables the Editor to fill his pages with much more sound, instructive, and amusing matter. A long political diatribe might possibly have compelled him to exclude—or at any rate to abridge—the admirable account of the " Life and Writings of Horace ;" which we should have deeply regretted ; for it is the gem of the Number, exhibiting in every page marks of rare scholarship, }efined taste,' and consummate judgment. This masterly essay furnishes us with a biographical sketch of the poet, and a brief character of the times in which he flou rished, drawn chiefly from his own writings ; in the course of which the Reviewer observes,—" all the great men of the day are the familiars of Horace ; we see them in the ease of social intercourse ; we become acquainted with their manners and habits ; we are admitted, in- some cases, to the privacy of Agrippa, and' Mtecenas, and Augustus himself, of Virgil and Varius." This remark, though not without justice, should have been more qualified. We certainly see many of the poet's illustrious friends— Maecenas especially—in the " ease of social intercourse," but we do not become acquainted with their peculiar idiosyncracy, because Horace was far too much a polished man of the world to say anything - of them, but what would redound to their credit. He looks only to the sunny side of their characters. They are full dressed for effect in his sketches of them ; he never once presumes to exhibit them in their undress. The Reviewer's guesses as to the nature and extent of the poet's education are full of ingenuity ; nor less happy are the reflections on the troublous times in which he passed his youth. Of the terms on which he lived with his patrons it is well observed—" Horace asserted and maintained greater independence of personal character than most sub jects of the new empire ; there is a tone of dignity and self respect, even in the most adulatory passages of his writ ings." We wish we could say as much for the flatteries of some of our own poets ; but no one can read the dedica tions of Dryden, Congreve, and many others that we could mention, who lived during what is called the " Augustan age," without being struck with the utter absence of self respect that characterises them. They lay on their adula tion, inch-thick, with a trowel ; more particularly Dryden, who seldom or never addressed his patrons, but in terms of the most abject sycophancy. It is greatly to Pope's credit that he was the first—or among the first—to maintain the dignity of the poetic character ; and to compliment his titled friends in terms which they might read, and he might write, without a blush. Speaking of Horace's Odes, the Reviewer says, " If compared with the highest lyric poetry, they are greatly deficient ; but if only considered as occasional pieces, inspired by friendship, by moral sentiment, or as graceful love verses, they fully deserve that place in the memory of the scholar to which they seem to cleave with peculiar tenacity ; their- ease, perspicuity, elegance, and harmony, compensate in some degree for the want of the nobler characteristics." This is true, but it is not all the truth. The Horatian Lyrics have other excellencies besides those which the Reviewer has here enumerated. Many of them breathe an unrivalled spirit of epicurean festivity ; others of energetic patriotism ; others of touching pathos ; and not a few, of deep and solemn reflection ; while all are marked by an ivory polish of language and apt felicity of epithet, to'which we have no parallel in Roman literature. How exquisitely pathetic, for instance, is the episode of the Danaides in the " Ode to Mercury," especially in the closing Sapphic stanza : " I, pedes quo to rapiunt, et aura, Dum favent Nox et Venus. I, secundo Omine, et nostri memorem sepulchro Scalpe guerelam. • Nor was Horace deficient, as the Rev i ewer seams to in sinuate, in the higher quality of the imagination. - Here he shows the true poetic instinct. Even Mr. Wordsworth himself never penned a more imaginative passage than this, which is only one out of a hundred similar ones that we might adduce from Horace's lyrics : " Qua pinus ingens, albaque populus, Umbram hospitalem consociare arrant • Ramis, et obliquo laborat Lympha fugax trepidare rivo." Mark with what creative power of fancy the author here contrives to impart conscious life, and even a social instinct, to his intermingling pine and poplar I And this without the slightest effort, or violation of good sense ! Ob serve, too, the imaginative beauty of the epithet " trepi dare," by which the poet, as in the former instance, makes his "Iymplia fugax" perfectly a sentient being. With the Reviewer's observations on Horace's Satires, we altogether coincide, though he has taken no notice of one of their most characteristic features—we mean, the exquisitely felicitous manner in which the numerous anecdotes scattered throughout them, are told. No one digresses, or tells a story with so much point and elegance, as Horace. Pope, who closely imitated him in this respect, has tried hard to equal him, but without success. Dexterous as is the pupil, he cannot approach the consummate ease of the master. It is curious that notwithstanding the many cen turies that have elapsed since they were written, and the many revolutions that have taken place in the social habits of Europe, the satires of Horace wear, many of them, quite as modern an aspect as Pope's imitations of them. In the description of the " Bore" whom he met in the streets of Rome, change but the venue from the " Via Sacra" to Pall-Mall, and the whole description is as modern as if it had been penned by Pope in 1730. The same may be said of Ho race's account of his supper with Nasidienus, and his satirical sketch of the legacy hunters. We have said nothing of this great poet's versatility, but this he possessed in a high degree. He has wit, humour, tenderness, satire, and, when the occasion requires, consummate powers of lofty and swelling declamation. Yet all his faculties are under strict control ; he is never mastered by his subject, but is its master ; and even in his most animated moments, never loses sight of a dignified self-possession. Pope, his imitator, was often carried away by his spleen ; not so Horace, who, through out his writings, exhibits a compact and well-proportioned intellect, in which no one faculty gains the preponderance over another ; but all are nicely balanced, and in perfect harmony, each with the other. Judging from his works, we should suppose him to have been a man of excellent temper, kindly and cordial feelings,' the idol of his friends, the pride and admiration of his country ! " Milman's Edition of Gibbon" is a notice of Mr. Murray's latest edition of the history of the " Decline and Fall of Rome," in which we cannot but think that the his torian has been somewhat too harshly dealt with. " Lou don's Trees and Shrubs of Britain" is a pleasant, sketchy review of the works of this eminent horticulturist, one of the most indefatigable book-compilers of his day. In " Brenton's Life of Earl St. Vincent," we meet with some interesting particulars respecting the early days of this cele brated naval hero, " who," says the Reviewer, " had for his patrimony twenty pounds, and coopered his second pair of breeches out of the ticking of his hammock ; yet rose to the highest honours of his profession—be came Admiral of the Fleet, General of Marines, First Lord Commissioner of the Admiralty, Grand Cross of the Bath, a Privy Councillor, and an Eng lish Earl l" " Lister's Life of Clarendon" indulges in some severe strictures on this work, which, we conjec ture, is somewhat too impartial to suit the taste of a Quar terly Reviewer, who, of course, is indignant with any one who finds a flaw, or even a speck, in the character of such a statesman as Hyde, Earl of Clarendon. " New South Wales" contains some useful practical suggestions with re. spect to the efficient management of this important colony. " Spanish Bull Fights" is a lively. paper, interspersed with anecdote, and various personal reminiscences. We quote the Reviewer's account of the last bull fight that was given by Ferdinand in Madrid : "On Saturday, the 22d of June, 1833, the Plaza Mayor of Madrid was royally prepared ; the windows con verted into boxes, and the lines of architecture throughout defined by silken draperies of crimson and gold, giving the square the of fbot of a gorgeous theatre. In the centre window of the. Town-house a magnificent canopy was erected for Ferdinand and Christina, while tho Royal Family and Court were accommodated on each side. The scene was singu larly striking ; the vast and gaudy enclosure—the dense mass of well-dressed spectators—the ladies glittering with dia monds and plumes—the nobles, generals, and ambassadors, decorated with orders and embroidery—all lighted up under a blue cloudless sky by the glorious and congenial sun of Spain, The King arrived in state about five o'clock, when the arena was cleared by the halberdiers (javelin men), the old guard of the Philips, revived on these occasim, ;knoll stationed during the combat under the royal seat. The proceedings commenced by the ent rance o f the , caurt alguacils, and their white wands of office, mounted on beautiful horses and preceding the four knights, cabelleros en plaza' clad in the ancient Spanish cos tume, each of whom was accompanied by his sponsor, ' pa drino,' in a state coach and six, and attended by running foot men in gay liveries of the colours of their respective masters. The sponsors, all grandees, were the Dukes of Frias, Alva, and Infantado, and the Count of Florida Blanca : they were followed by a troop of chains and toreros, gaily dressed, lead ing horses from the King's stables, saddled with trappings of silver, their manes and tails plaited with ribbons. The pro cession moved slowly round the circus, halting to make obei sance to the King. It was succeeded by four troops of forty men on foot each—one equipped as ancient Spaniards, another as Romans with helmets, the third as wild Indians, the fourth as Moors. (3allienas, according to Pollio, first intro duced precisely the same number of bands, arrayed as Goths, Sarmatians, Franks, and Persians. At the given signal, a bull was let loose, and the foremost knight adyauced on horseback, attended by two chulos : his posktkon was hazardous; clad iu silk, armed only with a short javelin, and unused to the con flict. One kri , ;nt was severely wounded, Dud many accid ents must have hp- pulled had the bulls been of their usual ferocity The safety of the horsemen der •:•rded very muc h on theist' tendauts. The Duke of Infantado had engaged Francisco Montts (the best matador in Spain) to assist his protege, p„. Pe Ignacia Artaiz, who killed two'bulls in a gallant style. magnificent Duke p r e sen t e d a l argess o f a thousand dollars to both knight and squire. GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)
